I am a beginner to lucid dreaming and over the last month I've had two, both lasting short times. I woke up not from getting excited, but from closing my eyes, every time i close my eyes to blink, say. I open them awake....help?

This has happened to me a few times. It's annoying, but I'm not too sure why it happens. I've always seen it as a 'failed' Lucid dream. Seeing as how, i did want to be Lucid, but it was not strong enough to last through me closing my eyes or blinking.

Just try and tell yourself not to do anything when you hit your Lucid point. - just focus on being lucid.
